At midnight, AI kept inventing smart contract code, so my team checked every answer against the real compiler.
While job hunting, I wanted agents to get me right too. So I wrote lauren.md, a profile addressed to the agent, with rules: keep my work separate from my team’s, never guess my rate.

The deal I made myself: new job, new hair.
I have not found a new job.
Yet, here I am.
Turns out I can job hunt OR look busted, not both.
The 33 that broke at the build step went to a coding agent, one machine each. 17 build now.
The agent never graded its own work. The harness reran every build itself.

Hackathon judging is mostly theater.
So I ran all 164 submissions in their own disposable machines on @flydotio Sprites and checked what actually compiles.
113 built. 51 didn’t. Most events never find out.
You can take the girl out of America, but she’ll still drive 30 minutes from her teeny village for a Starbucks PSL, just to feel like the basic B she once was 🎃
A developer’s first question now goes to an agent. Your docs are what that agent reads, or doesn’t.
I spent the last year on that problem: 16 Claude Code plugins that verify AI-written code five ways before a developer sees it, and a tool that runs every hackathon submission in its own disposable microVM to report what actually compiles.
I build and run developer orgs: advocacy, education, docs, DevX. Previously: Polkadot, Midnight, New Relic, Puppet, Vonage, Amazon.
And now I'm open to my next role: Director / Head of / VP, remote.
